A project synthesized in complete suspension of luminance, Shades tenders to darkly malevolent and mournfully mysterious soundscapes. Birthed from the ingenious minds of Alix Perez & EPROM, the project precipitates nonconformity, catering to the eclectic periphery of experimental bass and revealing a genuine, authentic opportunity for extended transcontinental collaboration.
Fittingly so, Black Heart Communion furthers the endeavor for opposition, plunging head-first into the vague, but undisturbed darkness as tenebrous strands of ‘Lurking’ embrace you. A precursive aura lingers, cloaked exclusively by an obedient rhythmic clicking before the prodigious, unrelenting vespers of ‘Two One Six’ prevail.
The acute precision of the project transpires as fulminating billows taper a jagged, irresistible acoustic environment on ‘Iron Sharpens Iron’, launching crisply into a sinewy, guileful analog cadence. Palpable, impenetrable darkness persists spiraling further into the aphotic chasm of the unknown as ‘Black Heart Communion’ contorts into tilted slats of incongruously dominant bass and entrancing digital mixdowns.
‘Womb’ presents a prophetic salutation, gently prodding the campaign toward an ominous fate, instilling one final shred of uncertainty as Black Heart Communion reaches a perilous conclusion.
